The NFT Minting & Marketplace DApp is a decentralized application that allows users to create (mint), buy, and sell NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) directly on the blockchain without intermediaries. It provides creators, artists, and collectors with a seamless, trustless, and transparent platform for digital ownership and trade.
The platform leverages smart contracts built on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and fully integrates with IPFS for decentralized file storage. It supports EIP-721 for NFTs, EIP-2981 for royalty distribution, and includes a simple on-chain marketplace for listing and purchasing NFTs.
This project demonstrates how blockchain can empower creators to tokenize their art and retain royalties automatically while allowing buyers to verify authenticity and provenance on-chain.
Build a decentralized NFT ecosystem enabling creators to mint and sell digital assets.
Ensure full transparency and ownership using blockchain verification.
Implement creator royalties on secondary sales.
Enable easy wallet connection and transactions with MetaMask.
Provide a user-friendly interface for minting, listing, and buying NFTs.
Category | Description |
|---|---|
NFT Minting | Users can mint ERC-721 NFTs with metadata stored on IPFS. |
NFT Marketplace | List, cancel, and buy NFTs with automatic payment distribution. |
Royalties | Implements EIP-2981 so creators earn a percentage from every resale. |
Wallet Integration | Connects to MetaMask / WalletConnect for direct blockchain interaction. |
IPFS Integration | Stores images, metadata, and assets in a decentralized manner. |
Admin Controls | Platform owner can manage platform fees and royalties. |
Frontend:
Built with React.js / Next.js
Uses Ethers.js and Wagmi for blockchain interaction
WalletConnect + MetaMask integration
Smart Contracts:
ERC-721 NFT Contract (for minting NFTs with metadata)
Marketplace Contract (for listing, buying, and royalties)
Written in Solidity, using OpenZeppelin libraries
Storage:
IPFS / Pinata / Web3.Storage for decentralized asset hosting
Backend (optional):
Node.js / Express backend for pinning metadata and indexing blockchain events
Database: MongoDB / PostgreSQL for caching listings
Minting:
User uploads image → Metadata generated → IPFS URI created → Mint transaction executed.
Listing:
NFT owner lists token on marketplace with a fixed price.
Buying:
Buyer pays listing price → Contract transfers NFT and distributes payments:
Royalty → Creator
Platform Fee → Admin
Remaining → Seller
Reentrancy protection (ReentrancyGuard)
Access control (Ownable / AccessControl)
Verified contract source (Etherscan)
Royalties implemented with EIP-2981 standard
